Sounds like Shea and Fabian Johnson are included. Williams as well.

Add Landy Cakes, Coach's Son, Jones and you know the rest ... are our core group which is to say are our best players ... doesn't make since we'd leave them out for WCQ

I don't think Donovan wants to play for the USMNT right now.

I assume that whole crew will be going. I just added guys who are confirmed by ther team. I can't see any surprises on this squad unless you consider Shea one which I don't.

I'm a tiny bit surprised Sacha got a call up... but I guess he has been on the bench a lot for Klins.

What's the likelihood Lichaj finally gets called up again? I guess slim though I don't know how well he's been playing at Villa.

So much for the "need to playing for your club team" argument.

Shea has seen what... 60 minutes of first team action in the last six months?

Essentially just his excuse when he doesn't call up Lichaj.

I don't think Landon knows what Landon wants to do.

Lichaj cannot make the starting roster for aston villa. Shea is prob out best and only option. I hope to see a dramatic change from Sacha if he gets on the pitch. I believe Sacha's style of play does not fit what Jurgen is trying to do at all. Hes not fast and cannot play defense against quality players. If you disagree go ahead and scream at me. I would be surprised if anyone is happy he was called up.

Yeah but I have also seen a match or two where he has played for Anderlecht and he just directed the Midfield, not so much defensively as you suggested, but offensively with his passing he picked a part his opposition and essentially all play went through him. He was absolutely superb those two matches I watched, completely influencing the game with his play.

I don't mind Bedoya being called up. At least we have some wing options.
